Configuring the hard drive The two HDD cage bays of the Altos G540 accommodates both
hot-plug and easy-swap HDD cage models. The main difference
between these two cage models is the presence of a backplane board
on the rear side of the hot-plug HDD cage. Both cage models support
up to four SATA2 or SAS hard disk drives.
The system ships out with only a single HDD cage occupying the top
cage bay. You have the option to purchase an extra HDD cage to
provide the system with additional storage capacity and scalability.
Contact your local Acer representative for more information.
Note: The HDD cage comes with HDD dummy covers. You need
to purchase a blank HDD carrier to install a hard drive.
